Your Middle School Experience

[MasterKhaosSphere]

I made a High School Experience thread a while back, every one of the stories were hella interesting so now I wanna make another one.

How was your Middle school experience different from your High School exp, and was it better or worse?

 

[iNotorious]

It was better.

I remember when we used to play playstation 1 in recess time (metal gear solid). I remember when beyblade got popular and then later it got banned. It was the coolest shit back then! I remember when I bought my first pack of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and I got one Blue eyes white dragon, my friends were jealous af. I remember roleplaying the red ranger with my friends and my crush. I remember falling in love with this cute chick, it made my world better just she being there. I remember that 1 dollar = you were the richest kid in the school. I remember going from school to home just to watch Men in Black, Scooby Doo and Dragon Ball Z. I remember when I used youtube for the first time.. oh boy! THAT WAS CRAZY!

I remember when I failed third grade so I had to go to summer classes in order to go to 4th grade. I remember when my dad used to pick my up from school. I remember when I used to go to the same school as my step sisters/brothers. I remember my first time singing in a stage with my fellow classmates.. we were scared af! My parents and their friends were watching us closely, I almost had a heart attack. I remember when you had no worries other than do your homework and be done for the day. I remember buying 2 pack of skimices after school because back then it was hot af after 12:00 P.M.

I remember when firefighters did a simulation of fire and after a while they used a hose to put the fire down but while doing so, many students got wet with the whole simulation, it was really funny.

I remember making airplanes with paper and throwing them from the third floor. I made like 5 airplanes per day.. I think I made more than 1800 airplanes per year x)

TL;DR: I had a good Middle School Experience.

Sounds really fun lol

I remember also we playing a lot of pokemon back then. We used to have a lot of fun when we were kids. I remember when one my friends bought a nintendo DS, m8! That made a lot of people jealous back then including me.

Those were the days. I miss my middle and high school days tbh.

How was your Middle school experience different from your High School exp, and was it better or worse?

In Britain we have Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form
Primary: 4-11
Secondary: 11-16
Sixth Form: 16-18 (some people repeat a year and so leave at 19) and then university.

I guess I'll talk about my secondary school experience.

I came out of primary school obsessed with football (soccer). I'd play 2-3 hours a day. I kept this up in secondary school but I joined a team both inside and outside of school. I was able to play as much as I wanted because academics came naturally to me and I would ace every test in every subject with no effort. In primary school I was dubbed a genius and had won a medal in the national mathematics contest. My school was a very rough place because the surrounding areas were all ghettos. I got in a lot of trouble for the usual stuff like back-chatting teachers, fighting and no homework. When I was 12 I met my first love but that didn't go so well.

When I was 13 I got into the wrong crowd. Initially this was due to playing football with them (the ghetto lot - not trying to offend anyone as this includes myself - are usually better for some reason) and listening to the same music (rap and grime). I was also quite well built for my age and was pretty good at fighting. Perhaps my reason for all of this was because I was abandoned by my dad and sought something like this (ie, finding role models in those gangster rappers). Or maybe because I was bored and never pushed. Or maybe I was just born like a prick.

This continued through to when I was 15. I even got into selling drugs at one point. The school gave me warning after warning about kicking me out but ultimately realised they couldn't because of how well I would do in tests.

Eventually being a (well) prick caught up with me. In my last year, some of the people I'd met turned on me and it spelt bad news for me. They never caught me because I spoke with one of my friends whose brother headed the gang. At the end of secondary school I realised that natural talent also isn't enough to succeed. In my GCSEs (the compulsory exams a British person of age 15 and 16 has to do) I got 7As and 4Bs which was a shock to me because I expected (at the time) to get many A stars. Being a genius saved me from not being able to do anything with my life so for that I thank God for my gift.

At the end of secondary school, I still played football but met new friends and started karate. Through karate I was able to learn a lot of discipline and through my new friends I had people I could express myself with. My life started turning around. I listened to different music, dressed differently, spoke differently, got with more girls and ultimately had a lot more fun. But what I found was that at heart I am a mathematician. So, I entered sixth form far more motivated and disciplined than I had ever been and than my peers. I guess my Sixth Form experience is another story.

TL;DR, secondary school was rough for me. It could have gone better and I did a lot of stuff I'm not proud of but I came out of it more disciplined and more motivated than anyone else.

I see, a lot of people in High school or Middle school(secondary or Sixth Form in your case) say that they struggled trying to "find themselves" and did bad things before they truly found themselves.

 

[Hexuze]

A lot of video games...and watching/playing anime/sports.

Yeah, I learnt a lot from it. I was lucky I didn't get any long term problems because it could have very easily gone worse.
My primary and sixth form experience wasn't as exciting as this lol

I mean in High School I actually have money and freedom but i still think Primary School was the shit.

Me and my friends would have so much fun, we would actually play outside. In HS we're to tired from all the work to even converse or do shit after school. I remember back when we used to hop on ps1, ps2 or even the GameCube and had parties and shit. Now if we see each other in the halls we roast on sight and go to class.

Lmfao roast on sight

Middle School was easily the worst time of my life. There were some good times. Like my Spanish teacher was really funny. And I got to play Yu-Gi-Oh at the YuGiOh table with a bunch of asians I think. Also got my first kiss in 8th grade. It was a really confusing time for me.

 

[nefraiko]

i was bullied by everyone, dark days

 

[ChicagoJhawk]

Tons of video games

Primary is 7-11, Infant is 4-7 and Nursery is 2-4.


OT: I wouldn't say it was better, just a different kind of good. If I had to sum the stages up in a couple of adjectives:

Nursery: Barely remember.
Infant to Primary: Simple and fun.
Secondary: Colourful and ever-changing.
Sixth Form: Laidback and quirky.


You have to factor in that your memory is better developed as you grow up, and more aspects of your life start to take form.

 

[Deadlift]

I was the typical fat dumb kid who gets punched by the bullies lol

 

[Dannie]

Was definitely the worst years of my whole school career.

 

[Tantalus Thief]

6th-ok
7th-meh
8th-good because we had lots of field trips 2 per semester

 

[BenjerminGaye]

Middle school was the worst experience in my life.

 

[Lightbringer]

Middle school was pretty bad. People thought I was a satanist and I was stuck in classes without my friends.

But Highschool, I was fairly popular; although I had emo looking hair, even though I wasn't emo. I was like the first kid with long hair in my school, but I've had long hair since elementary.
